I Was Shocked Over Paul's Massive Decision To (Spoiler) On 'Shrinking,' But How Did The Cast Feel?

Cinema Blend

Spoilers for "Shrinking" Season 3, Episode 7 are ahead! Read with caution, and watch new episodes every Wednesday with an Apple TV subscription.  While Paul’s Parkinson’s has always been a challenge on "Shrinking," ever since the end of Season 2, there's no question that it's forcing him to change his life in bigger ways. Now, in Season 3, we’re seeing Harrison Ford’s character take steps to prepare for what’s to come, and that includes acting on his plan to retire. So, in Episode 7, he asked a character to take over his practice, and I asked the actor who plays them how they felt about this major choice.  In the "Shrinking" installment that just aired on the 2026 TV schedule, Paul told Gaby that he’d been thinking about his legacy, and it led him to a conclusion about what to do with his practice. He then relayed that choice to Gaby.
